Shamanic Symbols
Shamanic Symbols are tools used to represent and "capture" the essence of the supernatural worlds in
which a Shaman travels, gathering information, teachings and healing.  These symbols keep the
connection "alive" and enable a simpler transition from one reality to another.

Dances, gestures, and sound can all be symbols as well as masks, sacred objects, glyphs and
pictures....
The Celtic Knots represent the
interconnectedness of Life with no
begining nor end....

The Power of the Horse

In this land, the Horse has been a symbol of freedom and
independence since time immemorial.  Everywhere you go, in the
towns and countryside you will see an abundance of horses.  They
are an integral part of our culture.

Free Horse Dreamers live in Kent.  The insignia of this county is a
White Horse.  This part of the UK was where the Romans first
landed.  Julius Ceasar was repelled by the local Cantii tribe in their
Horse drawn chariots and had to return a year later with massive
reinforcements.

One of the most important Goddess in Celtic society was Epona -
Horse Goddess of Fertility.  The spring Beltain Festival was held in
her honour and was a celebration of the union-physical, spiritual and
mental- of the Male and Female in all creation.  She was the only
Celtic deity to be adopted by the Romans into their pantheon such
was her importance.
There is a tradition in England of hill figures carved into the chalk many of these are of Horses.  The oldest being the Ufffingham Horse
circa 2000BC - and the most modern the Millennium Horse at Folkestone in Kent –completed for the millenium. Both of these are very
evocative and speak to me of the continuity and connection with the ancestors of the land that we walk-as we go hand in hand into our future.

Shamanically, the Horse symbolises freedom and journeys - on this plane and others.  A Shaman’s drum is known as a Spirit Horse whose
heartbeat carries travellers to the worlds beyond in the Spirit Realms.

In some Medicine Wheels the Horse resides in the South - a place of passion, youth, freedom and the Element of Water.  In Scottish
mythology the Kelpie is a Water Horse Spirit who lures unexpecting Men to an eternity of slavery beneath the Waterfalls of Scotland - a
dangerous beauty indeed!

As our name Free Horse Dreamers suggests, we journey and dream with passion.  We offer different ways to access the inner realms of
each individual; and with loyalty and impecability, will guide you to your own truths and freedom.  In the end, remember you are your own
greatest teacher.
